2nd Trig from today's hike. Behind a wall which was relatively straightforward to get over. There is worn ground around the reservoir so I'm certainly not the first to have walked on it. The pillar looks fine, views of people's back gardens predominantly.

Visited three trig points during an eight mile hike starting from Lepton and never straying to far from what is probably the most prominent trig point in the area - Emley Moor. This was the 3rd and it is easily accessed over the stone wall. It is in generally good condition and retains the original centre for the spider.

An excellent trig - and rare to find a reservoir trig that hasn't had the Fort Knox treatment. It is visible from a long way off atop the large grassed embankment. Access is straightforward - the only obstacle is a 5ft stone wall, which is easily hopped over and a very quick stroll to the top. The pillar sits at the south-eastern corner of the large, open reservoir. It is in fine condition, although as Eon suggested, it could do with a coat of paint. It still has an original cap it seems, but the lettering isn't as pronounced as some. I returned the same way.

(2062) Whitley Reservoir. Pillar clearly visible from the roadside. A low-ish stone wall is all that needs to be scaled for a closer look at things. All in good condition, though it could do with another lick of paint. Pillar history: Built on the 27th of May 1947, at a cost of £8 12s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in October of 1985.
